Docker Container Tutorial #6 Docker Container Users

docker run -it -u pete ubuntu /bin/bash

docker: Error response from daemon: unable to find user pete: no matching entries in passwd file.

Thanks a lot. It was very useful for me

Can one create an extra user in the dockerfile? For instance I run an app and filebeats, filebeats must run as user filebeat but my other app run on his usual user, I assume root.

I have run docker to mount the persistent volume, but the permissions of the host and the mysql container are inconsistent, which makes it impossible to write mysql data to the mount volume. How can I solve this problem?

just wow

I was looking for the Docker File Instruction USER

Question: How is it that the user pete exists in the container after the container has stopped? From what I've read so far a container is immutable and doesn't save any changes to the filesystem. My understanding was that the user needs to be added in the Dockerfile instructions when an image is built. I guess I misunderstood the container immutability. Would you care to explain?

Nice quick demo!
One question though: why can you simply "log in" as user pete into the container without requiring to enter any password?

quick & easy, thanks buddy :-)

your all 7 min is useful .. thank you..

can we map local users into a container?
